Word of the day: “Overcharged”

Is it just me, or does this tell us way too much about this administration?

When Secretary of State Hillary Clinton greeted Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Geneva on Friday before sitting down to their working dinner, she presented him a small green box with a ribbon. Inside was a red button with the Russian word “peregruzka” printed on it.”I would like to present you with a little gift that represents what President Obama and Vice President Biden and I have been saying and that is: ‘We want to reset our relationship and so we will do it together.'”Clinton, laughing, added, “We worked hard to get the right Russian word. Do you think we got it?” she asked Lavrov.”You got it wrong,” Lavrov said.” Both diplomats laughed. “It should be “perezagruzka” (the Russian word for reset), Lavrov said. “This says ‘peregruzka,’ which means ‘overcharged.'”

While they’re at it, maybe they should give the American people one of those buttons.HT:  Monique Stuart, via R. S. McCain
